I am drinking one as I type this and it’s so outrageously good, I think I've reached Nirvana. The reason? Gnosis Cacao Powder has to be one of the best raw chocolate powder's I've ever tasted. It's the real deal, free of free of any fillers, just pure raw cacao!
Here’s the Recipe. Add or replace ingredients as you like:
The synergy of orange and chocolate is rich and uplifting and you'll suddenly find yourself with a massive boost of happiness. I think that's all we're really looking for, though this treat is also perfect after a hard workout, because Raw cacao is one of the top antioxidant foods in the world and super high in Magnesium.
